The Yurok event with HRC was likely closed to the public. The website said Requa Inn was closed for a private event March 21 as well 23-25, probably when HRC visited.

The Requa Inn has existed for over 100 years and was purchased by the Yurok Tribe about 35 years ago. Requa is on the north bank of the Klamath River at the mouth of the River where enters the Pacific Ocean.

Surprised me to see that HRC was just here on my local news feed.

Redwood National Park includes the Lady Bird Johnson Grove that was the location of the 1969 grand opening of RWNP with Lady Bird in attendance.

Lady Bird Johnson Grove is an introduction for someone passing through. Walked the loop trail Summer 2025 for the first time in decades. Two friends now in Berkeley and Oklahoma visited and we made the loop from Weitchpec on Bald Hills Road to Klamath then down to Trinidad to eat and back to Weitchpec. I live between Weitchpec and Orleans on the Klamath. We went to high school together 68-70 in Bay Area (I ended up my senior year 71 at Hoopa HS on the Hupa Reservation). One of the fellows is kind of take charge and we ended up eating a chunk of time and energy walking the Lady Bird Grove loop trail before getting to the serious redwood groves.

The lower Klamath River has always been my home though lived and worked and mostly schooled elsewhere.

the summer fog belt is their natural range. Lots of rain. Can snow at upper locations of redwood range but intermittent, no snowpack. Never gets very hot nor cold.

Where I live is the inland strip of Six Rivers NF. The forest is heavy to Douglas-fir with no redwood. Hot summers in 90 F range, occasionally over 100 F. The mountain steep and green with trees. Rains in winter with occasional freeze but mostly in 50 - 60 F. My home is at about 550 ft elevation on a bench above the Klamath at about 400 ft. Can see lower peaks (6000 ft elevation) of the Trinity Alps to south and Marble Mountain Wildernesses to east. The Siskiyou Wilderness is to north as is Bluff Creek, the site of the Patterson bigfoot film. There are usually heavy snowpacks on the higher but snowpacks are extremely light winter 25-26.

Went to Happy Camp today for a doctor appointment or would have answered sooner.

Now you need a map! Satellite view even better.

I’mWithHer

Last week, American icon and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, along with actress and acclaimed playwright Anna Deavere Smith, and Susie Tomkins-Buell, co-founder of The North Face and Esprit and founder of Susie T. Buell Foundation, spent two days in Yurok Country.

Ms. Smith, who is best known for her principal role in Nurse Jackie and West Wing and the much celebrated HBO production Notes from the Field and is a longtime friend of Yurok Chief Justice Abby Abinanti, accompanied Secretary Clinton and Ms. Buell to Klamath. The purpose of the trip was to gain firsthand knowledge about the Yurok Tribe and to identify ways the extremely accomplished women might support the tribal community.

“It was truly an honor that they were willing to take time out of their busy schedules to make the visit,” said Chief Justice Abinanti, the first Indigenous woman to pass the California Bar exam, a long-time Superior Court Judicial Officer in San Francisco and the architect of the Yurok Tribe’s culturally responsive justice system, which is used as a model across Indian Country.

On Saturday, Secretary Clinton, Ms. Smith and Ms. Buell started the day at the Yurok Tribal Court, where they watched “We Are Oohl,” a documentary about the Yurok Tribe, with Judge Abinanti, Yurok Behavioral Health Director and international fashion designer Shoshoni Hostler, Amy Cordalis, an author of The Water Remembers and founder of Ridges to Riffles Conservation Group, and additional Tribal Court staff.
